I've been so busy and preoccupied I completely forgot it was my father's birthday, a month ago. Did not give it one thought until this morning when I wondered how old he is. ( very old, he comes from one of the longest lived families in his country, so he could last another ten years )

I'm not upset or anything, just noting that I really am well over my FOO, they are out of my life in actuality, and as much as possible out of my head.
